2018 Map of Jackson

About this map

Jackson anchors this portion of East Feliciana Parish, where the grid of the town center transitions into a landscape defined by meandering bayous and family-named cemeteries. The town’s historical footprint is visible through its street network, including Market St, College St, and Asylum Cr, which flows south toward Cooks Br. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain heavily influenced by water, from the wide channel of Thompson Creek along the western parish boundary to the network of smaller streams like Iron Bayou and White Bayou that carve through the surrounding woodlands. Local history and genealogy researchers will find an exceptional concentration of burial sites throughout the quadrangle, such as the Asphodel Cem, Evergreen Cem, and Green Briar Cem. Small airfields like Howell 1 Airport and Feliciana Airpark punctuate the rural stretches between outlying settlements like McManus, Ethel, and Gurley.
